A California Sustainable

Community Pilot Program

Introduction

On November 18th, 2008, the Tracy City Council

approved a resolution to participate in the "Emerald California" initiative and hold and complete its first Sustainable Community Plan.

The Plan will help Tracy achieve economic, environmental, and energy sustainability by producing a comprehensive action plan for significantly reducing the community’s “carbon footprint” and reliance on non-renewables, and improve its ability to plan for economic, environmental, and energy changes.

t Assist Tracy in meeting or exceeding local, state, and federal statuatory carbon-related requirements such as California's AB32 and SB375; t Help Tracy reduce their carbon footprint, preserve renewable resources, and decrease reliance on fossil fuels;

Esplanade Specific Plan, Lincoln, California - 2009 Steve led a community Charrette and prepared a Specific Plan and Form Based Code for the 193-acre Esplanade brownfield decommissioned wastewater treatment facility site. The Plan enabled the transformation of a City-owned site into an asset to generate funds to pay for a new treatment plant, and addressed housing needs. The East Area One Specific Plan, Santa Paula, CA - 2008 While with HDR, the project team with Steve Coyle was retained by the Limoneira Company to prepare a master plan, specific plan, and form-based code for East Area One, a 500 acre addition to the City of Santa Paula. The site is planned as three pedes- trian-oriented neighborhoods, plus a civic facilities and commercial district. The East Area One Specific Plan defines a fine-grained network of pedestrian-oriented streets: unique designs for all streets, parks and other public spaces; a range of residential, live-work, mixed-use and light industrial building types; and a number of regionally based architectural styles. Each of the neighborhoods is organized around internal parks and open spaces, with linear parks and an agricultural edge. The Delano “Block H” Redevelopment plan and Transit Center, Delano, CA Steve led the Delano “Block H” Plan Charrette that comprehensively planned an 11 acre area known as “Block H” in Downtown Delano. The team developed a form-based code for the surrounding area including the vacant parcels adjacent to the railroad tracks which can be used as a future commuter rail station. Mississippi Renewal General Plan Charrette, Gulfport, Mississippi The Governor’s Commission on Mississippi Recovery, Rebuilding, and Renewal facilitated a week-long Charrette (October 2005) to replan/rebuild areas destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Steve co-led the Gulfport Team that developed a master plan that enhanced local and regional land use and transportation systems, increased commerce opportunities, environmental linkages, enhanced wetlands and estuaries, neighborhood integration, and a new approach to planning and zoning. Gulfport, Mississippi SmartCode

After leading the Gulfport Renewal Plan, Steve assisted in the development of a citywide SmartCode that culminated in adoption one year after the Charrette in 2007. With the adoption of its SmartCode, Gulfport was the first of the eleven communities on the Mississippi Gulf Coast to officially adopt a citywide form-based code. The Code included a Sector (or regional) Plan, and standards at the Community and Building Scale. The team worked closely with FEMA and the new flood zone maps. Mill Pond, Astoria, Oregon

On the first ‘Brownfield’ neighborhood redevelopment in Oregon, Steve designed a mixed use neighborhood surrounding a pond located between Marine Drive and the Columbia River. The award-winning “fishing village” plan consists of a mix of housing: alley-accessed single family homes and duplexes, live/work units, and apartments above retail. The plan includes cottages built out on piers, public parks, and viewing areas around the pond that overlook the Columbia River, the Astoria-Megler Bridge and the Astoria hills. Commercial uses buffer the residential core from Marine Drive. Experience

New and Redevelopment Projects, Plans and Form-Based Codes Cal-Biodiesel Plan, State of California - 2010-2011 Steve/Town-Green with Alternative Energy Solutions, Inc. led a public/private plan to grow biodiesel from non-food seed crops without irrigation on unproductive, marginal and retired agricultural land, and unused State lands. The oilseed crops provide feedstock for small biodiesel production plants located inside struggling farming communities. These facilities will function as industrial incubators for clean-tech economic growth in California and potentially, across the US. The plan provided the state with a new revenue source to decrease foreign oil dependency and improve air quality, and to create livable-wage jobs. Marin County Affordable Housing Task Force, Marin County, California - 2012 Steve/Town-Green led a County Task Force to identify, evaluate and select affordable housing sites for the County's 2014 and 2022 Housing Elements. Steve and his team provided sketch-up designs for infill sites and designed evaluation forms that included weighting of prioritized criteria. He facilitated the assessment process, and assisted the participants in the application of interactive, web-based maps to describe and qualify site conditions.

Hercules Train Station and Transit Village, Hercules, CA Steve Coyle and an HDR, Inc. team developed a 20 acre neighborhood plan of higher density housing and neighborhood-serving commercial uses proximate to the new commuter rail station designed by the team for the City of Hercules. The proposed for-rent and for-sale unit types, live-work, and flat and town house units, comprised the nexus of a transit-oriented neighborhood serving a multi-modal transportation hub including the new train station, ferry terminal, and bus terminal. The neighbor- hood plan, organized around tree-lined neighborhood streets and small greens, play areas and public gathering spaces, connects to a larger traditional neighborhood. Shevlin Riverfront, Bend, Oregon

Steve and Lennertz, Coyle & Associates designed a 19-acre mixed-use development by Brooks Resources in Bend, Oregon during a five-day public Charrette in 1997. All interested parties, from potential builders and commercial operators to citizen activ- ists and neighbors, contributed to the design. The resulting mixed-use neighborhood included quiet residential streets, an active central green bounded by a 180-room hotel and 70,000 sq. ft. of office space, and 40 single-family homes. Mixed-Use Home Depot and Transit Station, Portland, Oregon Lennertz, Coyle & Associates in 2001 schematically designed the first mixed-use Home Depot on a site in the Hollywood District of Portland. The 104,000 sq. ft. store, screened by a ground floor retail stores, included a garden center, second floor offices, and 26 third and fourth floor apartments, plus two floors of roof-mounted structured parking. The site is adjacent to the Hollywood Transit Station. Experience

Special Projects, Affordable Housing and Architecture EXHIBIT C – STATEWIDE POTENTIAL SCS LOCATIONS

Firebaugh Strategic Growth Council Planning Grant Application Plan4 consists of reproducible strategies, policies, designs, codes, and programs tools or processes that could be easily accessed and used by other government agencies to develop plans or strategies for sustainable communities. Plan4 will assemble a digitized “SCS Workbook” as an “open source” plan. Hollywood Town Center and Urban Design Plan, Portland, Oregon - APA National Award - 2002 Steve and Lennertz, Coyle & Associates assisted the Portland Bureau of Planning in developing an urban design plan and transit center as part of a com- plex revitalization plan and regulating code for the historic Hollywood Town Center. The plan integrates civic building design, land use, transportation, and market con- siderations. In late 2001, the plan won an American Planning Association National Award. The Portland Planning Director said, “More great ideas were generated in one week at the Hollywood Charrette than any other planning process I’ve seen.” Village Gardens, Lincoln, Nebraska

Village Gardens, a mixed-use urban village on a 250-acre site in Lincoln, Nebraska, is the home of Campbell’s Nurseries. Steve led a team that created a plan and form- based code for Village Gardens, including Architectural Standards, to guide the design of the development’s 1,000 homes and mixed-use buildings. The plan’s de- sign preserved and enhanced existing waterways, created new ponds, and retained public open space, and transformed the property into a series of interconnected neighborhoods with a mixed-use village core surrounding Campbell’s Garden Center. US Army Base Area Development Plans, Fort Lewis, Washington Steve Coyle led a Charrette to design three Area Development Plan (ADP) for Gray Field; the Logistics Center, and Miller Hill areas of Fort Lewis. The ADP provided the master plans to fulfill integrated project mission needs with planning factors involv- ing environmental stewardship, sustainable development, force protection and mixed used development into development strategy.

E-Street Transit Village, Chula Vista, California

Steve/Town Green led the design team in 2003 for the new E- Street Transit Village in Chula Vista, on behalf of a partnership with a developer, the City of Chula Vista, and the Metropolitan Transit Development Board. Just off Interstate 5 along E-Street, it connects the downtown with the waterfront. The Plan created an attractive, conve- nient, safe and successful model of a regional mixed-use transit center that advances the community’s goals of transit directly adjacent to housing and shopping. New Affordable Neighborhood, Teton County, Wyoming Steve led an intense public Charrette to design two new ‘Affordable Neighborhoods’ to address the serious lack of affordable housing in Teton County. The project ad- hered to the principles of Smart Growth and advocated a sustainable development model for the Jackson area to enable local workers to live close to their jobs. The project employed a unique financing strategy that minimized public funding while maximizing market-driven subsidies to create a substantial quantity of affordable housing, but in the form of complete, walkable, and diverse neighborhoods. Northway Town Center, Anchorage, Alaska

Steve and Lennertz, Coyle & Associates led a Charrette to redevelop the existing Northway Mall and revitalize the surrounding area. The future Northway Town Cen- ter, on the eastern fringe of downtown, consists of an area of “big-box” retail and a 1960s-era enclosed shopping mall surrounded by parking and bordered by a large mobile home park, vacant land and a major freeway, an established single-family neighborhood to the east, and America’s busiest General Aviation airport to the west.

Master and Transportation Planning Projects and Codes Al Aqaba Town Plan, West Bank, Israel 2011

Steve/Town-Green led a seven day charrette in 2011 to design housing and develop a phased town plan for the Village of Al Aqaba in the West Bank. The international Char- rette Team, mostly volunteer, was assembled and sponsored by Rebuilding Alliance, an NGO led by Donna Baranski-Walker. It included a documentary film crew, a diplomacy group, finance specialists, and, of course, engineers and architects. Al Aqaba Village created a cooperative credit program to guarantee mortgage repayment and Rebuild- ing Alliance created a Revolving Mortgage Loan Fund. Contra Costa Centre Station Area Plan, Pleasant Hill, California -2012 APA Award

“The most successful TOD in Northern California” . In February 2002, Lennertz, Coyle & Associates’ Steve Coyle and Bill Lennertz led a Design Charrette in Contra Costa Coun- ty, California that produced a Transit Village master plan and code for the Pleasant Hill BART Station, the region’s first transit-oriented development project. The project was approved with no opposition despite contentious conditions that prevented the previ- ous plan’s adoption for twenty years. This award-winning project, now in its second construction phase, includes the following design and planning strategies: t $POUJOVFE TBMFT BOE SFOUBMT JO B EFQSFTTFE NBSLFU t *OUFHSBUJOH MJHIU SBJM CVT BVUP CJLF BOE QFEFTUSJBO BDUJWJUJFT t 3FDPOTUSVDUJOH QBSLJOH MPUT JOUP CVJMEJOHT TUSFFUT BOE QVCMJD TQBDFT t (SFFO JOGSBTUSVDUVSF JODMVEJOH UIF *SPO )PSTF 5SBJM GPS CJLFT BOE QFEFTUSJBOT t "UUSBDUFE BEEJUJPOBM USBOTJU JOWFTUNFOUT JODSFBTFE SFBM FTUBUF WBMVFT TJHOJöDBOUMZ t 4VDDFTTGVM $IBSSFUUF UIBU EFMJWFSFE FDPOPNJD FOWJSPONFOUBM BOE TPDJBM WBMVF Chico Downtown, Transit, and Parking Plan, Chico, California Steve Coyle/Town Green led a team that created a new plan for Downtown Chico that preserved the historic city fabric, addressed pedestrian, bike, motor vehicle, and transit access and parking, a transit center, and proposed redevelopment of the underutilized and architecturally blighted downtown blocks into lively mixed use street walls with parking enclosed within the blocks. The plan, developed in collaboration with Chico State University, included an implementation plan and policies. Cuesta Park Annex Master Plan, Mountain View, California The Cuesta Park Annex Master Planning Process incorporated a comprehensive Community involvement process with “performance measures” to help determine the city park’s future as objectively as possible. The Team directed a series of public events and arrived at a community supported conceptual plan for the Cuesta Park Annex, approximately 13 acres owned by the City of Mountain View. Fairview Village Sustainable Master Plan, Fairview, Oregon Lennertz, Coyle & Associates’ Bill Lennertz, Steve Coyle, and Bill Dennis developed a master plan for Fairview Village, an 87-acre addition to the City of Fairview, now completely built out. The plan, an organic grid, was influenced by the natural bend of Fairview Creek through the lower third of the site, and organized around Market Street, which extends from the commercial corner at the north to the civic center at the south. To develop the master plan, the team led an intensive three-day Charrette to engage the public and key decision makers to create a consensus-based design, regulating plan, zoning codes, architectural guidelines, and renderings of the community. The project won numerous state and national awards. Sample Publications

Sustainable and Resilient Communities

Stephen Coyle, with Daniel Dunigan, Forward by Andres Duany The ultimate step-by-step guidebook for implementing a comprehensive

"green action plan" for cities small and large.

Many of today's communities face an uphill struggle to attain self-suf- ficiency in an era beleaguered by shortages in governmental funding, skyrocketing oil prices, and rapid shifts in demographics and lifestyles. This step-by-step guidebook for urban planners, urban designers, public officials, and sustainability advocates explains how to create and imple- ment a "green action plan" to reclaim your neighborhood, community, or region by making them more environmentally healthy and economically resilient.

The Palgrave Handbook of Bottom-Up Urbanism

Palgrave/MacMillan Publisher

The handbook surveys the kaleidoscope of views on the agency of ur- banism, and its 19 chapters on the nature, locations, and functionalities of bottom-up urbanism offer far more than the problem-solving title of any handbook typically suggests.

Steve’s chapter, Lean Urbanism in Central Africa, runs from page 179- 199. Building and improving the resilience of villages, towns, and cities in developing regions of the world and in Africa specifically, demands a lean approach: small-scale, incremental developments that require fewer resources to incu- bate and mature. The pathway to Lean Urbanism in Central Africa, viewed in this chapter through the lens of its physical scale, development patterns, regulatory standards, and zoning, requires time-tested strategies and innova- tions in design and construction Council Report VII: On Green Architecture and Urbanism Published by The Town Paper “Planning Sustainably”. Green building today is well-defined and increasingly popular. However, green urban- ism is only beginning to coalesce as a defined or systematized approach to the built environment. The Council Report VII features 21 articles on sustainable construction and placemaking by leading practitioners of new urbanist design, planning and education, including Stephen Coyle’s Planning Sustainably - Without a Crystal Ball

Steve presents four principles of sustainable planning that have proven themselves over time and that may be used to evaluate proposed solu- tions: Time-Tested (works best, over time in the long run), Vernacular

(deployed with relative efficiency and simplicity by the greatest number of people) Pervasive (offers broad applicability for a wide range of cir- cumstances and over a diversity of environments), and Virtuous (lever- ages positive impacts, in the short and long term). Sample Project Websites
